Official 2015 MLB playoffs thread (World Series over!)

Kershaw had a hell of a ball game.
Cubs looked real good.
Dodgers looked good.
Oh god the Jays are playing tomorrow.
The Mets had some pop but no finish.
Oh son of a bitch I'm gonna throw up I'm so nervous for tomorrow.
Long Live Yoenis. (Just saying)
Pls win Jays Pls win Jays Pls win Jays

Out of the remaining playoff teams, the Blue Jays have the most recent World Series victory. This postseason really is something special.

Edit: I'm going to the game on Thursday. It will be the first playoff game I attend.

Awesome dude! I hope you have a great time!

Don't remind me about the Jays last WS win.

And enjoy the game bro. I went to the majority of the Phillies postseason games during that 07-11 run. There is nothing like it bro. The crowd is into the game every pitch. It's literally nothing like a regular season game.

Man I can't wait. I'm already way too excited for it. I won't be able to sleep the night before.

I'm dying.... This game is insane.... YESSS

I'm dying.... This game is insane.... YESSS

This is by far the craziest game I've ever watched.

Looks like the Curse of the Billy Goat decided to haunt the Rangers instead of the Cubs.

YESSSS TWO OUTS TO GO

yesyesyesyes

Congrats to the Blue Jays. They deserve this win.

The Rangers choked so hard it's not even funny.

YESSSSS OMG OMG YESSSSS OMG YESSS!!!!

Really hope the Jays get swept in the ALCS. Realy? Throwing Trash? Act like you've been at this level before.

IT'S BEEN 22 YEARS!!! WOOOOO

I don't think you understand how awful Toronto Sports have been. Also. Select Toronto fans aren't everyone. Just saying.

I'm a Philadelphia fan. I understand how shitty sports teams can be.

Only likeable character on that Jays team is Big Ben Revere.

Royals advance to the ALCS for the 2nd straight year. Houston is eliminated.

Spoiler

At least the Dodgers will finally fire Mattingly.

I want the Cubs to win it, simply because they're the longest North American team to not win the championship. I DOUBT they'll win this year, but something that was lacking from that team was a vision and smart management, and they finally have that. When I heard the Cubs got the former Red Sox GM (or whatever, I don't follow MLB that deeply), I knew something was gonna change.

Also Back To The Future 2 predicted a win in 2015. Kinda cool.
Go Jays Go! Tho

This was one of the worst days I've had.

I was on my way to the game and everything was fine. Right when I was about to hit the mountains on the freeway towards Los Angeles, it was raining super hard, literally I've never seen it rain that hard before. I got past that rain cloud and made it to the Grapevine, the mountain pass that you have to go through in order to get to LA.

As soon as I hit the Grapevine, there was a massive traffic jam because there were mudslides, rocks, and sticks all over the freeway. Some diesel trucks and other cars were unlucky and got stuck because of that. I got to the end of the jam and the Highway Patrol ended up closing the freeway and were guiding traffic to turn around and head back into the valley out of the mountains. There's another way to LA, a "back way" but that would have taken too long and later on the news I saw that the other freeway was much worse than the one I was taking. I would have been stuck... still stuck there because of this crazy ass weather.

I'm still pissed... so fucking pissed that out of all days to rain, it just had to be this one. I spent nearly $380 on tickets that I never even had a chance to use. I resold them on Stub Hub and ended up getting some of my money back.

The sucks so much.... A least you got some of it back. At least.

Kansas City shuts down the Blue Jays and take Game 1 in the ALCS.

Tomorrow's matchup between the Cubs and Mets should be interesting.

Seriously, he's dumb as fuck. I'm still shocked that the Dodgers made it to a Game 5 instead of getting swept.

He started Grandal who was like 5 for his last 80 or something like that instead of our other catcher Ellis who had a 12 game hitting streak in the playoffs. Who the fuck does that? Someone who is 5 for their last 80 is a guaranteed out and shouldn't play, especially in an important game.

He also told the infield to make a shift with a runner on base and one out. Instead of telling the guys to get into double play position and end the inning, he tells them to put 3 guys on the right side. I hate shifts. The only shifts I'm okay with are putting the infield in, putting the infield in double play position, and telling your outfielders to get back. The runner on base stole 2nd and basically walked to 3rd because there was no one covering it because of the shift. That runner scored on a sac fly.

Also, throughout this entire season Mattingly's lineup cards were extremely inconsistent it hurts to look at them. A player would go 5 for 5 with 5 homeruns and 10 RBIs in a game and he would sit them down the next game while being replaced by someone who's barely hitting .200 on the year.

And as for Mark McGuire, he's garbage as a hitting coach. The Dodgers may have led the NL in homeruns but I don't give a fuck about that. I don't care if we have a guy with 50 homeruns or 10 homeruns. As long as we can get base hits, bring runners home when needed, and get hits in key situations I'm happy. Nomar Garciaparra does commentary for Dodger games sometimes and I would rather have him as a hitting coach than McGuire. Garciaparra was a career .313 hitter and a two-time batting champion and also played for the Dodgers for a couple years.

Rule #1 - don't test Cespedes' arm. He WILL throw you out at home.

This is something I find a little unsettling and creepy.

When the Cubs made it to the World Series in 1945, they kicked out a man and his pet goat. The man then said his famous quote and cursed the Cubs when he said "Them Cubs aint gonna win anymore."

Here we are in 2015. The Cubs are playing the Mets and a player on the Mets named Daniel Murphy is tearing it up against the Cubs. He was the reason why the Mets won yesterday and they're up 3-0 right now thanks to Daniel Murphy.

Murphy was the name of the goat that was kicked out of the game in 1945.

This can't be a coincidence. It just can't be.
